Wrestlers even in the NCAA are on prescribed GH and Test. Not sure who mentioned Mary Jane
Not at all. That’s a given his boys are some of best too. A few of us were talking about an All d4 list. Lots of legends.
How long ago is "a while"?
Because Hoffman was ranked #1 in the country at his weight just 5 years ago. Zain and Solomon just 10 years ago.
This doesn't seem nearly far enough back to be "in a while," if that was intended to be taken seriously.
Zain is the GOAT of our district, but you are nutz if you don’t think Connor Harer is as good as Hoffman or Solomon.
Umm ... the question is if the Junior High Kid Du Jour is better than Hoffman or Solomon.
Dang my friend, relax it was stated “could be” one of the d4 greats. I reckon only time will tell. So this convo can be continued in a few years.
I am.
We have Buffalo Valley Blue first.
Not expecting a lot of wins for us as we are missing five starters on our team for next year including Sadriddinov injured, Mutarelli sisters graduation, and Brillhart injured, but we're going to get some of our JV kids the experience they need to challenge for a spot to contribute next year. Making strides in the off-season!
With some of the news lately I'm expecting CR South to make an impact for our new coach next year. Brad left the program in a great place, unsurprisingly.
That’s definitely saying something about Zain as d4 is and has been a hot bed for a hell of a long time
You guys are doing it right. You see club teams and teams made up of wrestlers from across the country. I respect real school teams. Everyone gets better in that situation. You guys getting Mutarelli will be great. He will be an instant impact in AAA states. He might fill in where Nate Desmond left off. Gain a prep stud and lose another to preps
1 Zain
2 Jim Martin
3 John Hughes
4 Scott Lynch
5 Paul Keysaw
Offhand they're the only D1 NCAA champs from D4 in the past 40 years. (I'm probably wrong about that.)
Earlier than that: I think Shorty Hitchcock is from the Northern Tier.
Are Chris Fleeger (2x) and Charlie Heller (1x) the only other NCAA finalists?
This is an incredible list. Zain, Martin and Hughes wow. Fleeger was something else too
Shikellamy. Pinned everyone sr year districts though states and the AA champ in challenge of champions. Teched returning 285 state champ from Shamokin with 15 tds in dual meet.
Goble Kline West Snyder 1X. Maryland
Larry Lauchle Muncy. 3X finalist 1X winner. Pitt Olympian
Nino is the only kid I've ever seen who can win a title in 2023 and have the poster looking like he is straight out of 1973 😆 🤣 😂
This is actually funny. I was thinking the same thing. Great kid, terrible banner.
Not unless the list got much longer than 5 names. And by "senior" circuit, I'm assuming you mean 55+?
Highly doubtful there's any official communication. Just take it, if eligible, to the point in the season one no longer wishes to (Ref. Kolodzick for Princeton, 2020). Keep records to ensure eligibility compliance.
That’s a mind disease that is going on at every university.
Some places it is especially pronounced. FM has a lot of foreign nationals and rejected Ivy applicants that use it as a "safety school" that they cater too because there's a lot of paid up front tuition.
As long as we're including former NCAA champs and runners-up from D4, I'll throw in Clyde Frantz 3rd place finisher for PSU in 1969 from Hughesville.
